Hi Guys,
I’m brand new to this forum and fairly new to biking. Wondering what would you suggest for someone new in the biking world? Maybe some good sites for newbies? Any forum specifically for us new ones?
Many thanks
Rob

robert in the same boat as you mate, if i were you id do what im doing, have a good look around,follow some of the posted links. theres some really good stuff here, ive only been riding a year but these folk really seem to know what there talking about.and have a sensible attitude towards biking in general. its all good stuff mate stick around may just learn somthing, just not from me he he.
Look no further mate... theres a world of advice in here.
Get yourself some lessons on a hire bike. Decide about 125 or DAS. If youre buying a starter bike, dont buy some piece of crap from China made out of tin foil and superglue. Buy a cheap, clean CG125 or similar and shift it on easily for the same money the day after you get your test.
Then enjoy every mile.
There you go. Biking in a nutshell.

You'll prolly find this is all the forum you need by the time you've explored all the different sections - anyway you could hardly expect us to send you somewhere else!
